It should spawn you on a small-ish island with a cave not too far away with iron and coal near the surface and further down a few dungeons, it also has a big ravine to the north of the island with a fortress at the bottom and a easy to find end portal. A desert to the east of the island with a village and a couple of mushroom biome near the top of the map and to the west. Also has at least 2 abandoned mine shafts(but you do need to do alot of mining to find these)

- confirmed stronghold @ x: -14, z: -68 (takes you directly down to a library; end portal is just around the corner to the left)
- confirmed abandoned mineshaft @ x: -3, z: 260 (easy access from swamp via a waterfall)
- confirmed nether fortress with blaze spawner and nether wart; lots of material for the taking (nether brick, iron bars, nether fence and nether brick stairs)
- 5 full villages all in close proximity (6th at the top of the map, cut off though)

no mushroom biome

I've found a mushroom biome at X: -239 Y: 72
It's an island in the ocean but it's defo there, which makes this a really good seed.

For anyone who plays on Beta 1.3-1.7 on 360 or PC, if you want the greatest seed, use cereal
There's pumpkins, trees, sugar, sand, clay, flowers, and many caves, shallow and deep, near the spawn. One cave, over a hill leading to desert mountains, has plenty of coal and is ideal for building a house in. I have found 16 spawners in the seed, two of which are in the deep cave next to the spawn. I found both music discs. There is plenty of visible iron, coal, redstone, and gold in the caves. If you break down one of the dungeon walls in the cave next to the spawn, the one with chests, you will find diamonds, lapis and coal. Email me at spidercookie@hotmail.com for coordinates. I have no pictures, sorry Oh, and I found underground plants. The seed has many oddities.

Created a world with the seed (Mojo Jojo)
It is full of mountains, dungeons, has snow terrain, and desert
Found a mountain with a huge dungeon inside, has plenty of coal and iron, water source in the dungeon. From the outside it there is a waterfall with a pond.
To the opposite a mountain with lava waterfalls into a water pond

I was using your guide, THANK YOU BTW, as I was setting up a camp in an area near another lot of diamonds I came across another set of diamonds not listed, at 225, 13, -19

No worries, glad you liked it. Thanks for that, I've currently been busy so I haven't had a lot of time to find stuff and update the list. Not sure how much more I want to do on this as we may need to create a new world when we get jungle biomes.

This seed gave me a large land mass. 2 large forest biomes, 1 large grassland biome, extreme hills and 2 small deserts and 1 small swamp. Very tiny snow biome on the west. In the middle of the ocean is a mushroom biome. Some ravines as well, plus quite a few cave entrances around the spawn point. Animals spawn there like crazy too.

Spawn right by a ravine that's in a swamp biome. Goes right down to an aabandoned mineshaft. Which in turn leads to a stronghold. There are loads of ores to find down here. Watching the missus play and it's looking pretty good so far.

The map is similar for both TU8 generated and TU9 generated with minor variations being Stronghold location and if the villages are full villages or just wells. I've included in game screenshots of framed maps from a version of the world fully explored on TU8 and one fully explored on TU9..

Spawn right near an entrance to a near surface exposed (moved slightly with TU9 and buried) Stronghold with an End frame. Easy access to plenty of nearby resources can use either nearby cave or stronghold.
No Mushroom Biome

Last checked: TU9
Coordinates updated. Everything without a TU tag is the same for both TU8/9.
Everything with a TU8 tag is specific to TU8 generated versions of the world
Everything with a TU9 tag is specific to or only checked on TU9. This means they may or may not exist in TU8 generated copies.

There were no Nether Wart gardens. Found a few patches of it on Soul sand, reliable even after a nether reset. Very few. There is a very limited amount of Soul Sand and very few Nether Wart in annoying locations.

As the map show; the seed seems to have a nice variety of the Biomes except mushroom being a bit weak on the desert biome only having a small beachlike one on the very southern part with cacti. overall it generates some very nicely varied terrain. The mountains with that desert biome on the southern side looks great.

I went back to playing around with Minecraft to mess with creative mode, and stumbled on a really good one if you want a massive cave system. Seed 875822714 (or "war damn eagle" without the quotes; pretty sure that is what I put in). Great flat building areas near a little town where I spawned, along with by far the largest cave system I've seen, and have gotten lost in several times exploring the offshoots on - http://youtu.be/9rumlbJP368

I'm getting the itch to throw time at this again, and I'm looking for a map like the screenie you've shown. I love that type of landscape, not a fan of flat worlds.

Honestly though, I want a world with everything, but mostly a large tall island in the middle so I can build me a Pirate Island fortress. Anyone got any ideas? (points for anyone who can guess what I've been watching too much of just lately (tip: my kids of 2 and 3 are addicted to it at the moment)).

Pros
-Super thick forests with massive trees, some big/thick enough to simulate night while standing underneath! if building with wood is your thing, you're in luck!

-Crazy tall mountains, hope you have rappelling gear!

-Beautiful deep and complex cavern system, rich with iron and coal. I'd like to hope there's gold and diamonds in there too, was too sleepy to continue. Started at 10:30 and stayed up 'til midnight. Had 40 iron and a full stack of coal from my short stint down there.

Cons
-Land is very hilly, if you love flat land, this ain't the map for you.

Will explore more tonight and post pics.

do you have the seed # for this? Is there actually a castle grayskull already made?

My sister and I have been playing the seed "magic" (it may be a capital, unfortunately I don't remember.) It's an amazing seed that spawns you right next to a ravine that has a stronghold at the bottom, a slime spawning chunk, the end portal room is the exposed part of the stronghold and there's an abandoned mineshaft below that so it's a fantastic starter. There's also a mushroom biome in this world and villages though they're a little walk but it has literally everything.

Near to spawn point at coords X: 174 Y: 65 Z: 192 a huge chasm, leads into a massive cave system, easy to get lost in, but with abundant coal and iron deposits, a fair bit of Lapis Lazuli, and some deposits of gold, red stone, and diamond.

Biggest hazard so far is the long drops and lava flows. Recommend making a lot of signs and using them to prevent getting lost.

Alas, no non-Euclidian shapes or Cyclopean architecture, or tentacle-faced dragons named Cthulhu.

Another cave system @ X: -183 Y: 64 Z: 277

Again, plenty of coal and iron. Not much in the way of other resources here. Many dead-ends that are not (If you know what to look for). Take caution when digging upward, several parts of this cave system is only a few blocks below ocean floor. DANGER: There is a monster spawner in the cave system, which is again easy to get lost in. Two chests near monster spawner have thread, cocoa beans, red stone, and some other less than spectacular items.

Surrounding area has a decent-sized surface iron deposit.

X: 83 Y: 65 Z: -48

Two surface lava ponds set in the middle of a forest. Beware getting too close if there are still trees close by, standing by a tree as it suddenly catches fire is not fun, especially if you accidentally fall in the lava, while trying to make a run for the water.

Notable Surface features

For this part, I am dividing the map up into a grid of 9 sectors in the following manner:

Sectors 3 & 6 are primarily a lot of sheer cliffs, and deep valleys, riddled with caves some leading into more resource rich networks easy to lose your way in, and others just making shortcuts to the other sides of mountains, and nice shelters.

All in all, this map is absolutely riddled with cave systems that seem to go on forever, and will test the limits of your sense of direction. For those Lovecraft fans that recognize the seed name. This is more like more like the City of Leng, than the Island of Ry'leh. Bold explorers prepare to get lost in your quest for resources.
